The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Chapter 1398 Revenge on Garp's Grandson

The two old antiques from the old times had seen the young and high-spirited Roger. Whitebeard could not see the shadow of Roger in Ace, but he saw it in his younger brother.

If Luffy's background was not innocent and he was not left overseas as a wild child, Golden Lion would even think that Luffy was another illegitimate child of Roger.

"I've found another topic to make fun of Garp. Not only is his grandson a pirate, but he also has a rough and unruly air, just like Roger. He can't educate both his son and grandson well, so he's unworthy of being a naval hero!"

Shi Ji was smoking a lit cigar. The stimulating substances contained in the cigar helped him to stay alert. When people get old, they tend to be less energetic and need external stimulation.

As soon as Luffy arrived, he heard a golden-haired uncle sitting in the highest seat saying bad things about his grandfather.

Of course, he had never seen the Golden Lion Shiki, nor did he know his past reputation or the power of the Float-Float Fruit. Like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger, Luffy glared at the Golden Lion.

When Whitebeard saw this scene, he showed a fatherly smile. The young man was really courageous. Like Ace, he was a daring and enterprising little guy.

"Luffy, I am Ace's father. Tomorrow is the moment of the decisive battle. If you can trust the Whitebeard Pirates, then join us in the battle." Whitebeard extended his hand to invite, giving enough face to Ace's younger brother.

Luffy didn't even think about it and agreed directly. He had never been to this area and had no acquaintances nearby. As the grandson of the navy hero Garp, he had never been to the navy headquarters.

With the Whitebeard Pirates leading the way, they headed directly to the execution platform, eliminating the trouble of finding the way and saving a lot of time.

Luffy likes Whitebeard's attitude very much. Although he sits in a high position, he is approachable and never looks down on him. No wonder Ace likes to follow Whitebeard.

Whitebeard introduced his ally as Shiki, the great pirate who once fought against Roger. Out of consideration for his old friend's face, he did not tell Shiki to his face that he was defeated by Roger and had been hiding for decades like a stray dog.

"Grandson Garp, do you know that the straw hat on your head belonged to the former Pirate King Roger?"

There was murderous intent in the Golden Lion's eyes as he stared at the straw hat on Luffy's head. Although he always cursed Roger for being lucky, there was no good weatherman during the naval battle, so he was defeated by Roger.

Shiki doesn't think that the descendants of a great man can easily inherit Roger's mantle and become the spiritual successor of One Piece. Let's forget about Red Hair, but does Luffy wear this straw hat now?

Luffy took off his straw hat and held it in his hand. Of course, he knew the origin of this straw hat. It was a token of his emotional connection with Shanks and one of the most real things in the boy's life.

"This straw hat was given to me by Shanks. Since he gave it to me, it is mine. I will be the man who becomes the Pirate King." Luffy sticks to his original intention. He walks on the path that Roger once walked. Why shouldn't he deserve to wear his hat!

When he shouted in front of everyone, "I am the man who will become the Pirate King," everyone present had different expressions and thoughts in their minds.

There is admiration, contempt, disdain, excitement, etc. Luffy never cares about other people's opinions. He wants to become the Pirate King and the freest man on the sea.

Whitebeard still kept smiling. He hadn't seen such an interesting young man for a long time. In front of the two big pirates, he directly shouted, "I want to be the Pirate King." He was really courageous!

Garp's grandson has such a character, which is much better than Whitebeard's adopted sons. There are only a handful of people in the world who directly shout "I want to be the Pirate King".

One of the main reasons why most pirates with conviction go to sea is to achieve One Piece, and they don’t care about becoming the Pirate King.

Before Whitebeard could speak, Golden Lion threw away the cigar in his hand, stood up from his seat, and held Mikazuki Munechika with his dominant hand, "You little brat from the East China Sea are so arrogant. If you want to become the Pirate King, you must pass me first. Let me test your strength personally."

"Shiki, don't make a big deal out of this. Luffy is just a kid," Whitebeard advised.

"Don't worry I won't hurt Ace's brother. You won't find many opportunities to bully Garp's grandson," Shiki said, already expecting something that scared Luffy.

Golden Lion thought that Luffy might just be pretending and saying nice things, but the young man was not a strong person at heart. If he was scared by his sword, he would not deserve to own Roger's straw hat.

Since Shiki is the bad guy in front, Whitebeard gave up trying to persuade him. If Luffy's strength is too weak and he is a silver spear wax head, Ace should not blame his father for using this method to persuade him to retreat and save Luffy's life.

"Little ghost, I have a grudge against your grandfather. As an elder, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can withstand my blow, I will not bother you again in the future and will take you to save Ace together."

Faced with the challenge from the former great pirate, Luffy knew that he had no other choice. If he retreated at this time, he might lose the opportunity to enter Marineford.

"Okay, one sword is one sword. I don't want to embarrass Grandpa Garp." Luffy still respects Grandpa Garp very much in his heart. Although the old man is not very good at raising grandchildren, the family affection that comes from blood cannot be cut off.

"I hope you don't pee your pants next time, little brat, and stop bragging in the future."

The pale blade light tore through the twilight, and the moment the sword from the golden lion's waist was unsheathed, the domineering aura in his body swept across the entire pirate ship like a tsunami.

The mast of the Moby Dick shook violently, the canvas rustled under the invisible pressure, the minions on the deck fell to the ground, and the weak were overwhelmed by this violent momentum.

Dozens of pitch-black and red lightning suddenly converged above his head. It was a manifestation of the domineering aura. Shiki had not fought anyone seriously for many years. This time, his momentum burst out in full force, and his power was as strong as before.

"What a strong old man!"

Luffy clenched his fists and watched as the scarlet domineering color above his head collided with the black lightning, bursting out a dazzling arc of light. His whole body was covered by an invisible aura, pressing down on every inch of the boy's skin.

The terrifying aura that erupted gradually weighed on Luffy alone, making the young man feel the difference in strength. A normal person would have gone weak in the knees long ago!

Luffy, however, kept gritting his teeth and persevering under the lock of the Conqueror's Haki. He would not kneel or wet his pants. He firmly believed that sooner or later he would become as powerful as him.

The young man's heart remained unshaken under the high pressure. The martial arts spirit in Luffy's body, purer than his armament color and observation color, began to spread from the inside out.

The secret contest between the domineering aura and the martial arts aura, and the aura against each other, gradually made the Golden Lion restrain his arrogant expression. Luffy's character was even tougher than he had imagined.

If it were any other pirate, they would have been frightened by his terrifying Conqueror's Haki. His crew member Enelu is a good example.
